7.60. When Paul crossed the finish line of a 60-meter race, he was ahead of Robert by 10 meters and ahead of Sam by 20 meters. S

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The number of meters Robert will beat Sam is 12 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

When Paul crossed the finish line of a 60-meter race, he was ahead of Robert by 10 meters and ahead of Sam by 20 meters. Suppose Robert and Sam continue to race to the finish line without changing their rates of speed.

Find:

the number of meters by which Robert will beat Sam

Step 1 of 1

When Paul finishes, Robert has run 60-10=50 meters and Sam has run 60-20=40 meters.

Therefore, when Robert and Sam run for the same amount of time, Sam covers $\frac{40}{50}=\frac{4}{5}$ of the distance that Robert covers. So, while Robert runs the final 10 meters of the race, Sam runs $\frac{4}{5} \cdot 10=8$ meters.

This means Robert's lead over Sam increases by 2 more meters, and he beats Sam by 10+2=12 meters.

Triangles abc, dbe, and fbg are all symmetric about the y-axis. what are the coordinates of the centroid?

Drupady [299]

Answer:

The coordinates of the centroid are (0, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the centroid of a triangle whose vertices (x1, y1), (x2, y2), and (x3, y3) are ( $\frac{x1+x2+x3}{3}$ , $\frac{y1+y2+y3}{3}$ )

In Δ ABC

∵ A = (-20, 0), B = (0, 15), C = (20, 0)

∴ x1 = -20, x2 = 0, x3 = 20

∴ y1 = 0, y2 = 15, y3 = 0

∴ The centroid = ( $\frac{-20+0+20}{3}$ , $\frac{0+15+0}{3}$ ) = ( $\frac{0}{3}$ , $\frac{15}{3}$ ) = (0, 5)

∴ The coordinates of the centroid of Δ ABC are (0, 5)

In Δ DBE

∵ D = (-15, 0), B = (0, 15), E = (15, 0)

∴ x1 = -15, x2 = 0, x3 = 15

∴ y1 = 0, y2 = 15, y3 = 0

∴ The centroid = ( $\frac{-15+0+15}{3}$ , $\frac{0+15+0}{3}$ ) = ( $\frac{0}{3}$ , $\frac{15}{3}$ ) = (0, 5)

∴ The coordinates of the centroid of Δ DBE are (0, 5)

In Δ FBG

∵ F = (-5, 0), B = (0, 15), G = (5, 0)

∴ x1 = -5, x2 = 0, x3 = 5

∴ y1 = 0, y2 = 15, y3 = 0

∴ The centroid = ( $\frac{-5+0+5}{3}$ , $\frac{0+15+0}{3}$ ) = ( $\frac{0}{3}$ , $\frac{15}{3}$ ) = (0, 5)

∴ The coordinates of the centroid of Δ FBG are (0, 5)

∵ The three triangles are symmetric about the y-axis

→ That means they have the same centroid and it lies on the y-axis

∴ The coordinates of the centroid are (0, 5)

Matt E. Matic was applying for a job. To determine whether he could handle the job, the personnel manager sent him out to poll 1

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

No; he did the survey incorrectly.

He surveyed 107 people, not 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a Venn diagram, when you are presented with information like this;

Presenting it in a Venn diagram would look like what is shown in the pic.

P.S. when drawing a Venn diagram, start with the information regarding individuals who fit in all categories and then work your way to the individuals who fit in just in one category.
